FY 2022 Tolerance, Diversity, and Anti-Bias Training Program

Community Policing Development

Community Policing Development (CPD) funds are used to develop the capacity of law enforcement to implement 

community policing strategies by providing guidance on promising practices through the development and testing of innovative strategies; building knowledge about effective practices and outcomes; and supporting new, creative approaches to 

preventing crime and promoting safe communities. The 2022 CPD program will fund projects that develop knowledge, 

increase awareness of effective community policing strategies, increase the skills and abilities of law enforcement and 

community partners, increase the number of law enforcement agencies and relevant stakeholders using proven community 

policing practices, and institutionalize community policing practice in routine business.
